Thanks so much for your feedback. I'll try to answer a few of the questions that have been posed:
- As mentioned, the water temp is already mid 70s and has been for about 2 weeks.
- The vegetation is VERY thick. I'm guessing this is a problem, based on Bob's comments. We have started mechanically removing some of it with the rake. Hopefully that will open things up enough, if we haven't missed our spawning window yet.
- This is an old pond, and we do have some predators in there. I removed most of the bass last year with hook and line, but there are some still swimming around. I've seen them posted up in the shallows for their spawn. With that said, there shouldn't be TOO many bass. I removed 30 or so from our 1/2 acre pond last year. That should be the vast majority, I think.
Sounds like I need to be patient and keep an eye on things. Thanks again.
